OT rose blooms

17 years ago

Probably the last of the year. The wind will most likely knock most of these off today.

    All are absolutely beautiful.

    My favorite is the first one. Yellow roses are my favorite flowers.

    Unfortunately, roses don't like me. I can't keep a rose bush alive for even a month!

    Love your roses. Is that a lilac colored one? It is very beautiful.

    Tim, what beautiful roses! I especially like the fourth one; what's its name?

  • 17 years ago

    They are all beautiful, but I love that violet rose #7. And of course the yellow one, too.

    Spent yesterday at the Antique Rose Emporium and got totally inspired.

    They are very pretty. I have been having some great blooms too. They must know winter is coming, lol. I'd like to know what the lavender ones are too? I have blue girl I think and it smells great but gets spots on the petals from the least bit of water. I had a really nice blue one long ago that I have been trying to find another like it. I think it might have been blue moon. It was a great one but I can't find it.

    yes some are lilac colored.

    most are noids but #4 is a deformed "oklahoman". one of my favorites.

    #1 & #4 by far have the best scent.

    I was told #10 was some kind of Elvis rose but google says there are NO roses named after the Elvis, so noid.

    I feel you pain Kylie! I did a bunch of pruning today (not roses) & was stopped dead in my tracks at least 10 times from getting hooked on rose bushes. My shirt & pants have new holes now. No blood though :-).

    Those are some beautiful blooms. I think fall time is the best time for roses here in CA. Where in z9 are you located? We continue to get rose blooms through December and a couple of champs bloom into January.

    #3 almost looks like a camellia

    I'm not really a fan of roses, but I did have a period of addiction to them lol. So now I have about 20 different rose bushes all started from cuttings or bought bare root for about $2 a piece. My favorite by far now are the yellow and orange flowered ones. I will be removing and giving away all but few selected rose bushes this coming January before they resume growth. The are in too deep shade now that the plum trees have grown up, and I don't have space elsewhere in my yard. The orange and yellow floribunda (The ones with multi-branched flower stems) will likely stay, along with one or two grandiflora (large flowered) roses.
